My "On-and-Off" girlfriend is 3-months pregnant. This unexpected situation occurred when we were in a very "off" position. As we are not together, she is unwilling to compromise regarding the custody of the baby. I will do anything in my power to make sure that this baby is raised properly, and I only know what I will do as a Father. She claims that she wants me to be a part of this child's life, yet she will not agree that we should have joint custody. I don't want to take this child's mother away from it and the mother is planning on moving to another city. I am afraid that she will use the baby as a pawn to try to take me to the cleaners. I have no problem with providing anything this baby needs and need to know what my rights are. She claims that in Arizona (where we live) that the mother of a child out-of-wedlock will automatically gain full-custody of a child. Is this true? If I took her to court to gain joint-custody, can I win? Thanks to anyone who can provide assistance.
